Keith Haring’s art went from New York subway stations to galleries around the world. His designs were also printed on everything from t-shirts to toys, as he made his work available to the masses. Haring was a pioneer in the fight against AIDS and created images for different organizations around the world. He was diagnosed with the virus in 1988 and died from AIDS-related complications in 1990. But his work lives on, and this summer you can experience it for yourself at the Arlington Museum of Art.

5. World of Art at “Texas Live!”

June 29
1650 E. Randol Mill Rd., Arlington

There is no passport required at the “Texas Live!” World of Art festival. The event goes beyond just canvas with musical acts, fashion shows, and hair and makeup exhibits. All of the featured artists are local. Tickets are $20 if you purchase before April 30. You can also use the promo code “WOADFW” for $5 off. (This code is valid through April 30.)
